Frank Kitts Park
- Location
- Frank Kitts Park is located in Quay Street on Wellington’s waterfront between Queen Street Wharf Precinct and Taranaki Street Wharf Precinct.
- Description
Opened in 1976, this park is named after Wellington’s longest serving Mayor (1956-74) and sits on reclaimed land and what was once a wharf.
The park was significantly extended in the late 1980s, as one of the first parts of the waterfront redevelopment.The park is used for all types of recreational uses – dragon boaters fill its shores bordering the Lagoon for practices and races, children enjoy the playground, and there are great spots for picnics and for workers from the CBD to enjoy their lunch.
